Jackie Danicki

While reading my grandfather’s sports hall of fame page and feeling a little sad (”Danicki left Lorain High School early to take on jobs for as little as 25 cents an hour to help his parents put food on the table…”), there was a call from the salon that perked me up.

ANTOINE: Honey, Luke’s on TV right now! Channel Four!
ME: Is he talking about Judaism?
ANTOINE: No, porn*!
ME: Ah, nevermind.

For those of you missing Luke Ford and wondering how he’s doing, he is, in his words, “alive and well and preaching the gospel!”. He’s been in Paris this weekend but should be back in the UK tonight. I’m not quite sure what to do with him, but I think Antoine and I are going to take Luke to a kosher restaurant near our home, in Golders Green, or to Masala Zone, which Cathy recommends very highly. I’ll take photos so everyone can rest easy as to his health. Any bets on whether he’ll be wearing his yarmulke or not?

*UPDATE: Antoine tells me that Luke told the story of the first time he went to a peep show. Gross! He then gave expert testimony on the FBI’s interest in Deep Throat. Luke is a very well read person, extremely clever and with a big heart. At first I thought his appearance on this show was funny, but now I actually feel worse than I did reading about my lovely, dearly departed Grampa Danicki’s hard life.
